Chapter 58: The Fall of Rotten Bones (2/2)

This divine power latched onto a few of Xi Wei’s tentacles, and the tips of the tentacles became sharp and started whirling. As the tentacles bound together, it looked like a giant drill with special sound and light effects.

“W-Wait, I can be your subordinate deity!” The Rotten Bones God finally got it through his thick skull that he was going to be killed and pleaded. “You’re just a new deity and you don’t have your own pantheon. Don’t you want to be the main deity of a pantheon? With my help, you can definitely become the deity upon deities!”

“Well said, but I refuse!” Xi Wei flickered dangerously as the divine power converged under his influence: “I despise those that eat human flesh.”

“But why?! Humans are only lowly creatures that keep on growing like weeds, why do you look upon them so dearly?” The evil deity that didn’t know that Xi Wei was originally a human, so he shouted in confusion. Then, he seemed to come to the conclusion that begging wasn’t going to help so he started threatening Xi Wei, “…Stop now! If you kill me here the Skeleton God will definitely find out someday! This is equal to declaring war with the Revenant Pantheon, no, the entire Netherworld Pantheon at once! It’s not too late to give up!”

“Isn’t that even better?” The speck of light on Xi Wei formed a smiling face. “The thing I love the most is to challenge myself with adversaries of a higher level!”

“You’re crazy! For such a foolish reason…”

Xi Wei who knew that antagonists die from talking too much stopped replying, as his strong divine energy converged into a giant spinning lance that was shining with an iridescent light.

The next moment, this giant lance that held the most power that Xi Wei had put into an attack ever since his transmigration impaled the head of the Rotten Bones God, immediately destroying the divinity that was hidden within!

From this moment forth, the Rotten Bones God was no more.

Actually, had the evil deity been more cautious and tried to find a way to face Xi Wei in a duel, he still probably wouldn’t have won against Xi Wei but he wouldn’t have died in such a terrible way.

Quoting his own words, greed was his greatest downfall. It was his eagerness to consume Xi Wei’s power that ironically led to him falling into the trap.

And those believers in the evil deity could not draw any more blessings from him anymore, becoming normal humans again with the same ghastly visage. It was a way to condemn them for betraying their original identities as humans!

“Oho, this is quite nice…”

Xi Wei happily started to absorb the shards of the fallen deity’s divinity as he carefully analyzed the abilities that it held, replenishing and upgrading his own divinity at the same time. “There’s a lot of useless bits, but there’s also quite a lot of good stuff…”

He then glanced at the corpse of the Rotten Bones God.

The evil deity was definitely dead, but as a deity’s body held strong divine energy, even if its divinity were destroyed and its consciousness disappeared, their bodies would be able to be left for a long time.

The dead bodies of some stronger deities could even continue moving along with their instincts after death—There were probably some of these in the depths of the Valley of the Tragic Dead.

“It seems that I can go forward with some plans of mine now…”
